Since some people liked the one I posted before, I thought I would post some links to the person who taught me how do do them.

Here goes

Hummm, any ideas on how you get the angles of the dangles for each tere of blocks?
Do they glue a set and turn it, glue a next and turn it, and so on?
Some of that stuff is astounding!
Can you use CA glue for that?
We need the tricks that make these treats. :)

They are glued up on the lathe, block by block and then the next layer is added block by block.

I am still working on that one from before. The best I can do right now is point you to Kevin Neely's site for segmented bowl tips. I can't seem to find the open segmented link I used to have. I hope to be done with a how to soon. Try here for a little bit of help
